Sources said Rayudu has close connections with the BRS leaders, especially KCR’s nephew and state finance minister T Harish Rao.It is learned that Rayudu had bought a big chunk of land near Siddipet and had met the chief minister a couple of times in the farmhouse.He also has close connections with BRS Andhra Pradesh unit president Thota Chandrasekhar, who is also from Guntur district.
